Chapter 163: Slaughtering the Village
When she returned to Yishui Village, Ye Ningxiang's face was full of tears, her hair was scattered, and her clothes became dirty, but she didn't care about these at all, the only thing she wanted to do was to see Mu Xize as soon as possible and confront him face to face.
However, at this time, Yishui Village was a little silent, and walking on the path into the village, Ye Ningxiang always felt that there was a chill around her, which made her shiver.
The small river that stretches endlessly in Yishui Village is still running and flowing, but there is something else in the river. Ye Ningxiang walked to the side of the river, only to see that the originally crystal clear river water was now full of red, and the smell on the river water was actually bloody.
Ye Ningxiang chuckled in her heart, an ominous premonition came to her heart, and she ran desperately towards the village regardless of her tired body. The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, so thick that Ye Ningxiang vomited for a while, and almost vomited.
The ensuing scene in front of Ye Ningxiang's eyes made her heart ache so much that she lost consciousness, standing there, her eyes staring around her in a daze, and the whole person was already stupid.
Red, everywhere is a cruel red, and above that red are the villagers of Yishui Village.
The villagers lay crookedly in pools of blood, some with their eyes closed, some with round eyes, some with blood flowing from their hearts, and some with mutilated limbs. However, without exception, these villagers have died.
In the center of the group of villagers, who had become corpses, stood such a person, covered in blood, with white hair like snow floating in the wind, such a figure was very human.
Ye Ningxiang covered her mouth tightly, tears blurred her sight, she looked forward to, warmly looked forward to, the person in front of her was not him, and these dead villagers were not killed by him. But as the man turned, all her hopes were dashed.
Because this person is really her husband, Mu Xize.
"Evening ...... Yuzawa. ”
I saw Mu Xize's face frightened and stunned, and the big peach blossom eyes that were facing the fragrance of the upper leaves were full of deep despair.
"Xi Ze, you killed the whole village, right?"
Ye Ningxiang was not afraid, and walked all the way to Mu Xize. The former affection dissipated from her face, and was replaced by resentment.
"Not me. ”
Mu Xize's voice was extremely low, his voice trembled, and his Adam's apple moved up and down, as if he was choking.
"You're still lying to me! I ask you if you killed my father with your own hands?"
Mu Xize's eyes were first surprised, and then with strong guilt, he closed his eyes in despair and whispered, "Yes." ”
Demons will always be demons, and it is their nature to be murderous, and they can't change it in this life. She, Ye Ningxiang, still fantasized about spending her life with demons, and even believed that Mu Xize cherished her from the beginning to the end and never deceived her. It turns out that from beginning to end, she is the stupidest person.
Knowing all the truth and witnessing the most miserable scene, Ye Ningxiang's turbulent heart calmed down, no longer crying, no longer roaring, her face was calm, revealing ruthlessness and indifference.
"Yuzawa, we're done. The next time you do any more trouble, I will kill you myself. ”
Ye Ningxiang said very slowly, word by word, each word pierced Mu Xize's heart like a sharp blade. She resolutely, leaving no room for anything, and didn't even give Mu Xize a chance to explain, turned around, left, and finally disappeared into the blood-colored village.
When Rumo returned to Qingming Mountain, Mo Xiaoqin had already woken up, regardless of the dirt, the whole person lay on top of the dirt, crawling forward desperately, trying to find Rumo's traces.
"Violin. ”
Rumo ran to Mo Xiaoqin's side with a heartache and took Mo Xiaoqin in his arms.
Mo Xiaoqin raised her head weakly, and the person in front of her shocked her to the point of fear. The deep eyes glowed with a strong blue light, and the black clothes seemed to be soaked in blood, and even the blood dripping from the clothes could be seen.
Particularly striking are his hands. The tender and white hands had been stained with blood, completely losing their former color, and not only that, but there were scars on the wrists of these two hands that went deep into the bone marrow, and blood was still pouring out of the wounds.
Although Rumo was hugging Mo Xiaoqin, it was his arms that he forced, not his hands, and his hands seemed to be hanging on his arms, with no strength and no movement.
"I'm sorry to worry you. ”
Mo Xiaoqin burst into tears, choked up and said, "Rumo, what's wrong with your hands, how can there be so much blood on your body?"
Rumo smiled faintly, her face was calm and calm.
"Xiaoqin, believe me, I will not kill anyone from now on. ”
It turned out that in order to get rid of Xiao Qingyu and avoid becoming Xiao Qingyu's killing tool, Rumo cruelly used peach wood to break the tendons of his hands, scrapped his hands, and completely lost the ability to kill.
"Like ink, like ink!"
Mo Xiaoqin's crying was heartbreaking, and she tried her best to hug Rumo's waist tightly, and she couldn't bear to let go for a long time.
Ye Ningxiang didn't remember when she fainted due to physical exhaustion, she only remembered that when she woke up, she was lying on a wide, soft bed, her dirty clothes had been changed, and there were four young girls kneeling beside her.
"Miss Ye, you can be considered awake!"
A woman sighed first, then quickly got up and walked out of the room.
"Where am I?" Ye Ningxiang patted her aching head and said weakly.
"This is the Xiao Mansion. ”
Ye Ningxiang first wondered what kind of place this Xiao Mansion was, and then thought that among the people she knew, it seemed that only Xiao Qingyu was surnamed Xiao, and then looked at the decoration style of this room, and she knew where she was, Xiao Qingyu's mansion, Xiao Mansion.
At this time, Xiao Qingyu, who was dressed in white, rushed to Ye Ningxiang's side with eager steps. Different from the white clothes he wore before, the white clothes worn by Xiao Qingyu at this time were very similar to filial piety clothes, and the hairband on his head was also replaced with white cloth strips. His face was pale and haggard, as if he hadn't rested in days.
Although his face was tired, the moment he saw Ye Ningxiang, his face once again showed a smile like a spring breeze.
"Ning Xiang, you've finally woken up! You've been in a coma for the past few days, but you're worried about me. ”
Looking at Xiao Qingyu's outfit, Ye Ningxiang had already guessed that he probably had some important relatives deceased, so he asked, "Childe has just experienced the pain of life and death?"
Xiao Qingyu laughed even more, as if he felt ridiculous about the word life and death.
"Life and death are not separated. To be honest, I'm hoping he'll die soon!"
While speaking, Xiao Qingyu took the gruel sent by the maidservant, scooped up a small spoonful, put it to his mouth and blew it, and handed it to Ye Ningxiang's mouth.
"Ning Xiang, you haven't eaten in a few days, come, drink some porridge to replenish some energy!"
Ye Ningxiang felt that although Xiao Qingyu was vicious, she had never had any crooked thoughts about her, so she did not refuse, and obediently fed porridge to her mouth by Xiao Qingyu.
For the next half a month, Ye Ningxiang always lived in the Xiao Mansion, and gradually, Ye Ningxiang also learned about Xiao Qingyu's secrets that could no longer be called secrets.
Xiao Qingyu, the second son of the recently deceased Emperor Ruiguo, is an illegitimate son who has been fostered outside the palace since he was a child, and has never been protected and cared for by the Rui royal family.
However, now that the crown prince Xiao Qinglin has been killed in leaving the country, the only surviving imperial uncle is a fool with a brain problem, and the various factions in the court and China are chattering day by day about supporting the new emperor. In the end, the Queen Mother came forward to hand over the government to Feng Jingzhi, the prime minister of the Rui Kingdom, which did not cause chaos in the Rui Kingdom.
If Ye Ningxiang heard these earth-shattering news in the past, her heart would definitely fluctuate, or she would simply do something and take action. Now Ye Ningxiang is like a pool of stagnant water, wooden, indifferent, as if everything that happens around her and all the changes around her have nothing to do with her, a stupid woman.
"Miss Ningxiang, Childe said let me take you to meet him. ”
Gao Fei came to Ye Ningxiang's living room with a smile on his face, and said to Ye Ningxiang with a sincere face.
"If you want to see me, just go back to Xiao Mansion to see me, why do you want you to take me to see him?"
Ye Ningxiang felt that Xiao Qingyu's approach was a bit excessive, and a trace of doubt appeared in her heart.
Hearing Ye Ningxiang ask like this, Gao Fei's smile became mysterious, "Childe said he wanted to give you a big surprise." Just come with me!"
Seeing that Gao Fei said so sincerely, Ye Ningxiang no longer insisted, and followed Gao Fei out of the Xiao Mansion.
Today, Xiao Qingyu's mood is particularly comfortable, the Queen Mother issued an edict to allow Ruiguo to send troops to attack and leave, the reason is to avenge the tragic death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Ruiguo, and at the same time allow him to follow the Emperor as the son of the former emperor, which means that it is only a matter of time before he succeeds to the throne.
"Ningxiang. ”
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xiao Qingyu called Ye Ningxiang's name, and seeing that Ye Ningxiang did not agree, he walked quickly into Ye Ningxiang's living room, wanting to share his joy with her.
"Ningxiang, tell you a good thing. ”
I thought that Ye Ningxiang was sleeping on the bed, but when he lifted the veil on the bed, Xiao Qingyu's face changed instantly.
"Where's the incense?"
Gao Fei behind Xiao Qingyu was also stunned, and he didn't know why a good person suddenly disappeared.
The maids in the room saw Xiao Qingyu furious, and they all knelt on the ground, and said timidly: "Hui Gongzi, Miss Ye was just taken away by the high guards and said that she was going to see you!"
After saying that, the maid was also stunned, and she was very puzzled by what was happening in front of her.
Gao Fei was even more stunned, and immediately fell to his knees, his forehead already soaked in a layer of sweat because of nervousness.
"Childe, I've been with you all day, and I've never returned home to take Miss Ningxiang away!"
Xiao Qingyu's face was even more panicked, and he desperately searched for something in the room, but in an instant, the originally neat room had become a mess.
"The other party must be going to threaten me with incense, and there will definitely be clues in this house, and there will definitely be clues. ”
Xiao Qingyu lost his mind and rummaged around the house, and after a long time, he finally showed a relaxed expression, only to see that he was holding a very inconspicuous note in his hand. The note was written in a small dense row of words: Three days later, at noon, at Wuli Pavilion in Yeqi County, only Xiao Lang needed to go to the appointment.
Originally, Xiao Qingyu should have been furious, and he should even kill all the guards and slaves in this Xiao Mansion, but at this time, he didn't have time to do so. He didn't even pack his bags, and without a moment of hesitation, he mounted his fast horse and set sail towards Yeqijun.
The other party only gave him three days, and the time was so tight that he did not have the slightest time to make a careful deployment. He even needed to travel day and night non-stop to arrive at Yeqi County before the agreed deadline, so that he could save Ye Ningxiang's life.
It was only then that he suddenly realized that this woman had been unconsciously engraved in his heart and became an indispensable part of his body, even if he was asked to die for her, he probably would not hesitate at all.
